Antiques Group

The Antiques Group meets on the second Thursday of the month, at 2pm for 2.15pm. at
Maggs Sandiland's home at Wallington. 

 

On alternate months we visit an appropriate museum or gallery.

 

We are frequent visitors to the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Wallace Collection and
the British Museum.  We recently visited the exhibition "Gold" at Goldsmiths Hall. 
On these occasions we meet at the destination about 10.30 or 11 a.m.  The trips usually
end with a convivial coffee or lunch!

 

Over the past year or so we have visited the De Morgan Collection, The Queen's Gallery,
the Leighton Museum and the Arts and Crafts Palace at 2 Temple Place.

 

We intend to follow up our studies of William Morris with relevant visits.  Our aim is to
gain an understanding of the background and period of an object, so we go to historic
houses (e.g. the Wellington Museum and art galleries).
